We took a long hike today.
It was supposed to be a 7 mile hike.
3.5 miles up and then 3.5 miles down.
We saw a beaver pond.
When we got close to the end (we were about 12,000 ft) we had to guess where the path was.
That part was supposed to be ½ mile, but I think we went farther, because we wound around so much.
When we got near the top it was beautiful.
On the way down we stopped at Lower Mohawk Lake.
We were so hot and tired that we stopped and dipped our feet in the water.
It was freezing, but it felt so good.
When we were most of the way down it started to rain.
It seemed to take forever to walk to the car.
Our hike ended up taking about 6 hours.
It was well worth it though.
From your pictures I felt like I was there. The view of the lake through the valley was beautiful.
The water looks cold! Love, Grandma
